Quick Start Guide:
Step 1: Power up the NW2500-EIP.
Step 2: Be sure that the unit is physically connected to the network through the
Ethernet connection (RJ45 Connector).
Step 3:
Use the network user interface and enter the program mode by
pressing the ENT key. The unit will prompt the user for a password at
this point, the default is “0 1 0 4”. Using the keypad, enter the pass-
word
Step 4 Network Settings:
The menu system is broken down into a few different sub-menus.
Select “Network Settings” from the main menu and press the ENT
key.
Step 5 Connection Type:
The the “Network Settings” sub-menu select “Connection” and press
the ENT key. The connection type can be set to either static or dy-
namic. If dynamic is chose, the network should automatically select
an IP address. If static is chose, an IP address will need to be pro-
grammed into the unit.
Step 6 Set IP Address:
This step can be skipped if IP addresses are assigned dynamically by
the network. If the connection type is static, select “IP Address” from
the sub-menu and press the ENT key. Using the arrow keys, edit the
IP address for the unit. Please consult the IT director for this value.
Step 7 Subnet Mask:
Next, from the networking sub-menu, select “Subnet Mask”. The Sub-
net Mask helps the unit determine which IP addresses are local and
which lie beyond a Gateway. Press the ENT key to view the unit’s
Subnet Mask. Using the arrow keys alter this setting to the desired
value (please consult your IT group for this value). Press the ENT key
to store the value.
Step 8 Gateway:
The Gateway setting holds the address of the device that will allow
this unit to send and receive messages with devices that are not on
the local network. Press the ENT key to view the unit’s Gateway ad-
dress. Using the arrow keys alter this setting to the desired value
(please consult your IT group for this value). Press the ENT key to store the value.
Step 9 Cycle Unit Power:
After all of the network settings are programmed. Turn the unit off and then back on again.
The network module’s settings will only be altered at power up.

Overview:
The AQ wireless can be equipped with a network card that provides connectivity to a
Plant Floor Control System using Ethernet IP. This interface includes a network
card, a human-machine interface (LCD display & keypad), an additional serial port,
and an RJ45 network connector.
Human-Machine Interface:
The human machine interface (HMI) consists of an 2-line by 16
character backlit LCD display and a six button keypad. During
power-up, the display on the HMI will display the firmware ver-
sion contained inside the microprocessor’s memory.
During operation, the HMI will show the unit’s IP address.
The HMI is also used during the programming phase allowing
the user to enter program menus. These program menus allow access to settings
that govern how the Ethernet IP interface functions.
Network Connector (RJ45):
The Ethernet port is used to transmit and receive TCP/IP messages that are format-
ted to comply with Ethernet IP.
Serial Port (MIF):
The additional serial port on this unit is a debugging port. This
port will give the user direct access to the network module. A ter-
minal program is all that is necessary to use this port. The set-
tings for the terminal program should be 38400 baud, 8-bit, no-
parity, and 1 stop bit.
Operating Mode:
When the Ethernet IP network interface powers up, the display
briefly shows the firmware version information and then the
unit enters it’s operating mode.
In the main operating mode, the display will show the unit’s IP
address. From this main screen the user can press the ENT key
to enter the programming mode.

Program Mode:
There are several items that are user configurable through the
programming menu. In order to reach this menu from the main
display, press the enter (ENT) key.
The display will prompt the user to enter a password before
reaching the programming menu. The default password is “0 1
0 4”.
While entering the password, the left and right arrow keys will
move the cursor back and forth. The up and down arrows will
raise and lower the value of the digit that the cursor is high-
lighting.
The escape key (ESC) will send the program back to the main screen without at-
tempting to read the password. If the enter key (ENT) is pressed, the unit will com-
pare the entered password to the password that is stored in the unit’s non-volatile
memory. If these values match, the unit will continue onto the programming menu.
Programming the Unit’s IP Address:
It’s important that each device on the network has it’s own unique IP
address. In order to edit this interface’s IP address, select Program-
ming IP Address from the main menu and press enter.
The current IP address will be displayed at this point. In order to
change the address use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to select any
given digit in the address and then use the UP and DOWN keys to al-
ter that digit’s value.
Once the desired IP address is displayed, the enter key can be
pressed to save that value. All programmable values are stored in
non-volatile memory. This allows the unit to “remember” these values
even when the unit is turned off and unplugged. The escape key can
be pressed any time during the editing process allowing the user to
return to the main menu without saving a new value. For a new IP
address to take effect, the unit’s power must be cycled off and then
back on.

Programming Menu:
The Ethernet IP network card has quite a bit of flexibility and there-
fore also has a large number of variables that can be programmed by
an end user.
The menu system has been broken down into several logical sub-
menus.
The network sub-menu contains IP addresses, gateway and subnet
mask configurations.
The data input and data output menus allow user to select which
data bytes to send/receive and also where those bytes will be located
in the input and output strings.
The data mask sub-menu allows users to choose different popular
data masks that include different input and output data.
The password can be edited from this menu and the connection
status can also be monitored
Programming the Unit’s Subnet Mask:
The Subnet Mask is used to identify which part of the IP ad-
dress is the network ID and which part is the host ID. This is
accomplished by a logical bitwise ANDing of the IP address and
the netmask. In order to edit the netmask, select Subnet Mask
from the main menu and press enter.
The current mask value will be displayed at this point. In order
to change the mask’s value use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow
keys to select any given digit in the address and then use the
UP and DOWN keys to alter that digit’s value. Pressing the en-
ter key will allow the user to save the new subnet mask that is
displayed on the LCD. The escape key can be pressed any time
during the editing process allowing the user to return to the
main menu without saving a new value. For a new Subnet
Mask to take effect, the unit’s power must be cycled off and
then back on.

10
Programming the Gateway:
Gateways perform routing functions. This gateway value identi-
fies the router that connects a LAN to other networks. Some
gateways also perform protocol conversions.
In order to edit this gateway’s IP address, select Gateway from
the main menu and press enter.
The current gateway address will be displayed at this point. In
order to change the address use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow
keys to select any given digit in the address and then use the
UP and DOWN keys to alter that digit’s value.
Pressing the enter key will allow the user to save the gateway’s IP address that is
displayed on the LCD. The escape key can be pressed any time during the editing
process allowing the user to return to the main menu without saving a new value.
For a new Gateway to take effect, the unit’s power must be cycled off and then back
on.
Programming the Connection Type:
The IP Address assigned to this unit.
The current timeout value (in seconds) will be displayed at this point.
In order to change the value the arrow keys may be pressed. The UP
key will add one second, DOWN will subtract a second, RIGHT will
add 10 seconds, and LEFT will subtract 10 seconds from the value.
Pressing the enter key will allow the user to save the value that is dis-
played on the LCD. The escape key can be pressed any time during
the editing process allowing the user to return to the main menu
without saving.
